What others say

“to be honest, it never occurred to us to rent a camper in Japan. Why? I guess it’s just something that nobody does, so you don’t think about it. When we stumbled upon your blog, we pulled Japan right back up to the top of our wish-list; suddenly that dream seemed possible! And it became an amazingly rewarding holiday. Thank you so much for sharing your information and help, keep on writing, we will spread the word with you! – kind regards from Boston, Emma and Joel Dujardin”

“…so grateful for your trick on how to combine Tokyo and Kyoto with some untouristy Japan! To add the camping-car-experience just made all the difference. I felt so free and relaxed, going anywhere we wanted, parking to make lunch on the most beautiful spots, sleeping next to a temple in the forest. And all the hot springs we ‘had to’ visit as our bath rooms. Coming back for more would be great though I don’t think so, there are still too many countries I want to see. But a rental camper I will now try anywhere, I feel it’s safe! Thank you and good luck, Albert and family, Belgium”
